Lance 815 TC.

The wife and I decided to sell the half ton truck and buy a 2011 Ford F250 extended cab. Now we are looking at Lance campers,I really like the 825 but 18 to 20 grand is out of our price range. We have seen a 2005 Lance 815 camper in Wisconsin for sale. I would like to hear about the good and the bad about this TC. Thank You.

    I had a 2008/9 815. Small tanks and the shower into the black tank were the only things I didn't like. There was a thread on here back then where someone 'rearranged' so the shower went into the grey tank. Hope it works out for you!

    I just found out about the shower water going into the black tank, I would reroute it to go in to a water container outside of the camper. The camper is in really nice shape and it is being stored for the winter, they want 8 grand for it.

    x2 . Having the shower drain into the black tank is not a good thing.
    Its beyond me why anyone would design something like that .

    I'm not sure, but you might be able to re-route the plumbing to make it more useable. That might be an option if you are getting a clean camper for a real good price.

    Hello Old Days. If I remenber correctly the 815 is a non-self contained TC meaning no waste or fresh water tanks and no toilet but if you go to Lance website and click on support they have all the manuals for viewing.
    Happy camping nm1oqrz
